MINNEAPOLIS -- Ana Ortiz (SR, Waterloo, Iowa/Columbus Catholic HS) delivered the eventual game-winning goal for Augsburg University in the 72nd minute, as the Auggie women's soccer team claimed an important 1-0 win over Saint Mary's University in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game on Saturday afternoon at Edor Nelson Field.

HOW IT HAPPENED
